How to Make Raisin Toast: A Simple Guide

Raisin toast is a beloved breakfast treat, blending soft, buttery bread with sweet, plump raisins. Here’s an easy guide to making it at home.

### Ingredients

You’ll need: 300g bread flour, 30g sugar, 3g salt, 5g instant yeast, 1 egg, 120ml warm milk, 50g softened butter, and 80g raisins (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes to soften, then drained).

### Steps

1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add the egg and warm milk, knead into a smooth dough. Gradually incorporate softened butter and knead for 15–20 minutes until elastic.

2. Add raisins: Gently fold in drained raisins, ensuring even distribution. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

3. Shape & proof: Punch down the dough, divide it into two equal portions, and roll each into a loaf shape. Place in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise again for 30–40 minutes.

4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. Tap the bottom—if it sounds hollow, it’s done. Cool on a wire rack before slicing.

### Serving Tip

Enjoy toasted with butter or jam, or pair with coffee for a cozy breakfast. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Simple, delicious, and perfect for any morning!
